Practising tomorrows
It takes ubiquitous computing as a significant case study because the future orientation practised in ubiquitous computing research and development is emblematic of the perpetual technological forecasting in which humanity engages. “Practising tomorrows? Ubiquitous computing and the politics of anticipation” a PhD by Sam Kinsley. via Anne
Augmentia
Anselm lays out the emerging issues with Augmented Reality (AR). In doing so he relates it to a whole host of known and unknown problems associated with ubiquitous computing, semantic publishing and data platforms. Below are some clippings of bits that seem particularly insightful: It puts own embodiment at risk. And whomsoever can mitigate that [...]

Touch
Early in 2005 I drafted a project together with the Oslo School of Architecture & Design that was designed to look at Near Field Communication (NFC) with an interaction design and user-centred perspective. In December 2005 the project was funded in full by the Research Council of Norway. So since March 2006 we have been setting up the project and conducting preliminary exploratory research work. You can see our ongoing process on the project weblog (and pick up the RSS feed too).

Augmented reality experiments
A year ago, Even and I played around for an afternoon with ARtoolkit, an open-source application for handling Augmented Reality objects: physical markings that when processed through a video camera can be augmented with 3D digital objects.

The address book desk
For the last couple of weeks I have been experimenting with tagging personal space with NFC. This started by embedding RFID tags in my desk, to use it as an information surface for contacts, SMSes and links.

Nokia 3220 with NFC
Thanks to Matt and Nokia I've had a prototype 3220 NFC shell on loan for a few weeks. It's the second Nokia phone to feature an RFID reader and writer for 'Near Field Communication' the technology that I've been getting excited about for mobile services, stickering and touch.

Design Engaged 2005
Here are my raw notes from the three days of excellent conversation, urban exploration and brainstorming of Design Engaged 2005.

Tangible and social interaction
!http://www.elasticspace.com/images/pictochat.jpg(read more)!:http://www.elasticspace.com/2005/03/tangible-and-social-interaction
On the 12th January 2005 I gave two lectures here in Oslo on the theme of tangible and social interaction. The "presentation":http://www.elasticspace.com/presentations/tangible_social_jan05.pdf is a 1.9mb pdf, and my notes are below. I'm posting this in response to "Matt Jones'":http://blackbeltjones.typepad.com/work/ and "Chris Heathcote's":http://www.anti-mega.com/antimega/ "presentation":http://www.anti-mega.com/antimega/archives/001195.html at ETech ("notes":http://crystaltips.typepad.com/wonderland/2005/03/tangible_comput.html), which covers a lot of the same ground.

Sound objects
"Mikael Fernstrm":http://www.idc.ul.ie/mikael/ gave a lecture at "AHO":http://www.aho.no/ on sound objects this week. His work at "IDC":http://www.idc.ul.ie/ focuses on sound in ubiquitous computing, an area that is relatively unexplored in interaction design.

Photos of touch-based interfaces
In the way that Victor Lombardi is collecting images of cardreaders, I am beginning to collect images of touch-based interfaces like the Oyster card and other 'touchable' interfaces on public transport. If you want to contribute, tag your photos with 'touchinterface'.
